Question

I mean yes, but probably not. I don't really care about the age. I care more about whether we work well together, and I think I'd need someone on my own maturity level for that (not that I'm particularly mature at all in a lot of ways). If that's someone that's 15 years younger than me, then fine ^^ But that seems unlikely.

Obviously not 😂

abc3643 · Answer

Well, at my age, that's not really a problem since that means in her 40s.

However, assuming I was in my 30s or 40s...
1. I wouldn't do anything illegal.
2. I'd have to gauge how mature she was to begin with. Generally, that would usually exclude any female under 25.

That said, knowing what I know now... I probably wouldn't do it except under special conditions. This is because the older male will likely begin to experience ED and not be able to adequately satisfy her in bed and/or might not be able to have children. So, even if the man was fine with her, she likely would not be fine with him in the long run.

Also, the mature man realizes that many women have daddy/older man/authority figure fantasies, so he's targeted by such a woman because it's a fantasy of hers. However, the reality of the differing sexual capabilities and needs could still be problematic, so he might not have a relationship with her despite his attraction for her; he knows that, in the long-run, it's probably not good for either of them.

IF YOU KNEW **ANYTHING** ABOUT EVOLUTION YOU'D KNOW THAT MEN ALMOST PREFER TINDER WOMEN, AND WOMEN ALMOST ALWAYS PREFER OLDER MEN... GOOGLE IT.. GONE "WHY DO MEN PREFER YOUTH AND WOMEN PREFER EXPERIENCE"..

Levin · Answer

tbh, looking at the behaviour of older people, you'd be forgiven for thinking age isn't an indication of maturity.

It's like anything, it's about compatibility and whether it works. I do prefer younger women so if she wants to date a codger, then fine by me.

Guido · Answer

Date yes but long term commitment no. When you are younger it it ok but when older is when the difference really affect things. She is not going to want to play nursemaid at 60 when I'm 80. Closer to same age when older is better as you age together into those sunset years. Otherwise one is dead and the other is alone.

rachel776 · Answer

20 years older is about my upper limit, right now my boyfriend is around 15 years older

patrick994 · Answer

Yes I would, as long as it shows me maturity and affability.

I am 29 years old, I would gladly be with a 20-21 year old girl if she showed she cared about me, of course she must also have financial independence.

BullShark · Answer

No. I don't have anything against younger people, but an age gap of 20-10 years is just way too much for me. Personally, I like to datyw women who are no more than 2-3 years younger than me

petitedollbabee · Answer

My partner is 9 years older than myself, and I don’t think that I would ever date someone more than 10 years older than myself. Definitely not 20 years.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

My present secondary girlfriend is 14 years 'behind' me. Where mentally (by outsiders' comments) I'm 10 years behind my own age. It's all relative.

DreamCrescent · Answer

yes.. not a day younger but any age older but I'm at an age where older men are appealing so probably not the same for everyone

Apple1996 · Answer

No I wouldn't even date a guy 1 year older than me let alone 10 or 20 lol

SotiCoto · Answer

In so much as I'd "date" anyone, which I don't, but sure.  My last "ex" (who is now simply my friend) is 15 years younger than me.

Middleman · Answer

Yeah sure, am currently dating someone who is 14 years younger than me.

RavVid · Answer

10% of married couples have an age gap of 10 years or more.

ChiTown33 · Answer

10, yes.  20? Probably not. I simply can't imagine us having enough in common with that big of an age gap.

ThrillSeeker01 · Answer

More than 10 to 20 years younger than me would be not okay, to put it moderately. But 10 or 20 years older than me could be wonderful.
